Way to earn your "A" rating!
This kind of crap will continue unless and until we are committed to make examples of these Quislings. Make an example of him. Toss his @$$ out. Even if a Democrat gets his seat. And let the GOP know that the next one who falls out of line will be targeted as well.If they won't do the right thing out of principle, make them do the right thing out of cowardly self-preservation. Who cares, as long as the results are there?
Otherwise, what incentive do they have to change?
Look at the way the article manipulates, starting out with a horrifying anecdote just to set everyone's mood before they lay this on them:
Most Americans already think gun trafficking is a federal crime — but it’s not. They have no idea that there is no federal law targeting firearms traffickers who commonly use “straw purchasers” to buy guns for convicted felons and other dangerous criminals who cannot legally buy guns on their own.Really? So I can lie with impunity on question 11.a.? That bit about it being a "crime punishable as a felony" on page 2 is just to fill up space on the form?
Tell me again why these people have gone through hell over accusations they allowed 4473s to be falsified?
And why did this guy and his family go through hell over accusations he was an unauthorized dealer?

I've been a lurker for quite some time; War on Guns is one of my daily reads. I've decided it's time to get active.
In my recent e-mails to my congressional delegation (all Republicans; I'm a Kansan), the last paragraph has read "Consider 80 million gunowners, all, by definition, eighteen-years-old and able to vote, whose watchword has become GOP delenda est."
Should the Republicans live down to expectations and assist the Democrats in passing any gun control legislation, I propose that it go out over the net that every letter, e-mail, blog post, comment to a blog post, or any other communication, especially, but not limitted to, anything directed to a politician, end with the words "GOP delenda est!"
I freely place this concept into the public domain, and hope you will forward it wherever and to whomever you might deem it useful or appropriate.
You'll probably have to explain to some of the knuckleheads on the other side what it means.
